Shortly after our bugfixing release for the legacy series we released version 0.8.1 in the current category.

The work on 0.8.1 began just after 0.8 was online. The first thing we got our hands on was the online documentation. We added large articles explaining the core concepts of qooxdoo like selection handling, drag and drop but also started documenting each widget and also brought our snippets section back, which include solutions for frequently asked questions or best practices. If you have not seen our documentation section in a while give it a try. There is much to discover!

0.8.1 was a maintenance release including 250+ bug fixes and an overall polishing of the framework. See the official release notes for details.
For beginners we introduced a new application: qooxdoo playground. Embedded in this application is an online editor in which you can create small applications by yourself or load one of our samples and run them on the fly. This mini IDE features syntax highlighting, reports errors and executes your code instantaneously. Since many users just want to experience qooxdoo to get a feeling for it in the evaluation phase, the step to work with command line instructions was too much. We believe that with this tool we can satisfy these users as well.

So grab yourself a copy of the SDK and enjoy coding.

Ho ho ho. ;-)
